the milder air has finally arrived. my overnight low has been 56.8F (13.8C)... the warmest i've recorded since oct 22nd... nearly three weeks ago. skies are partly cloudy just before sunrise this morning, with a humidity reading of 48%.
the nearly cloudless skies of the past couple of days are now a thing of the past, it appears. the big high pressure ridge which has been in charge of the weather pattern recently is now beginning to break down, as strong westerly jet stream winds are crashing into it, carrying the first in a series of upper-level disturbances into north india during the coming 12-24 hours. that means we will see more clouds, initially of the high and mid-level variety, and increasing chances of some showers and possible thundershowers, especially on thursday and friday. it's been a great few days to be in the mountains, but if you are venturing up above 3000m/11,000ft or so, heading into the latter part of the week, be prepared for a sudden turn to nasty conditions.
temperatures on the back side of our retreating high pressure ridge will be quite a bit above normal through friday... but we should drop back closer to the realm of climatological averages over the weekend.
WEDNESDAY: a mix of sunshine and high clouds. unseasonably mild for november.
high: 19C (67F)
WEDNESDAY NIGHT: partly cloudy and mild, with a slight chance of a passing shower.
low: 14C (57F)
THURSDAY: partly cloudy skies. one or two showers/thundershowers possible, mainly in the PM. warmer than normal temps!
high: 20C (68F)
FRIDAY: a mix of clouds and periods of sun, with a good chance of a round of showers and/or thundershowers. still mild.
morning low: 14C (57F)
daytime high: 20C (68F)
SATURDAY: partly cloudy and turning a bit cooler.
morning low: 12C (54F)
daytime high: 18C (64F)
SUNDAY: partly cloudy with a chance of a passing shower.
morning low: 12C (53F)
daytime high: 17C (63F)
